IMPROVE-D WASHING MACHINE.

TO ALL WI-IOM IT MAY CONCERN:

Be it known that I, CHANCY L. ANDREWS, of Conneaut, in the county ofAshtabula, and State of Ohio, have invented a new and useful improvementin Washing Machines; and I do hereby declarethat the following is afull, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being had tothe annexed drawings, making part of this specification, in which-Figure 1 is a perspective view, and

Figure 2 is a vertical longitudinal section through the middle.

The same let-ters are used in both figures in.the indication ofidentical parts.

A is the box, containing the clothes and wash-water. B, a frame forsupporting the roller. It is construoted with parallel side pieces, withgrooves B running their entire length, and parallel with one another.This frame is placed in the box, being held in place and controlledagainst longitudinal action by pins C, projecting from the inner facesof the side of the box on which the grooves B are placed. The frame hasa free vertical motion on the pins. D is a corrugated roller, thejournals of which turn in the lower end of the side pieces of the frameby which it is suspended. E is the handle, by means of which anoscillatory motionv may be given to the roller D., F F are bars, placedacross the box between the sides in the segment of a circle.

The clothes being placed upon these bars they may be rubbed by theroller D, which will rise and fall so as to accommodate itself to thesurface of the clothes to be washed.

I do not claim the use ofthe bars or roller having an oscillation whenin use, for these I know are common; nor do I claim broadly for havingthe roller adjustably suspended. My invention consists in th'earrangement of the parts so as to make a very cheap and at'the same timeeffective washing machine.

What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent,is`

The combination and arrangement of the box A, frame B, with parallelgrooves B in the side pieces, pins C, corrugated roller D, handle E, andbars F, substantially as set forth.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in thepresence two subscribing witnesses.

CHANCY L. ANDREWS.
